Love you Blizzard, your ideas revolutionized MMOs

I played wow for over 4 years. 2 weeks ago I decided to take a break and join Rift until the next patch or maybe the next XP, or at least until Blizzcon to see about the xp. After playing and enjoying RIFT for a couple of weeks I really do have to say kudos to Blizzard as they really introduced a few revolutionizing ideas that will be copied by every MMO to come. LFD, RBGs, Random BGs are the first that come to mind. Blizz gets a lot of hate, and by no means are they perfect but really I have to wonder where current MMOs would be without Blizz. Rift is no colossal success but its enjoyable and I see so much of wow in RIFT. But anyways even though I quit, I think Blizz does a good job and hopefully they dont give in to the QQ and everything else.

that is something of a good point, nothing wrong with copying good ideas as long as the games keep themselves unique enough to not feel repetitive.
